Our research suggests up to 40 percent of global infrastructure and capital project investment is poorly spent because of bottlenecks, lack of innovation, and market failures. McKinsey established the GII to address these issues, promote economic growth, and contribute to more resilient and secure communities.

GII has hosted four successful summits and dozens of regional roundtables worldwide. GII disseminates the best insights and practices from around the world through Voices on Infrastructure, and shares a collection of tools. GII also hosts innovation site visits, demonstrating some the industry’s most exciting projects, new approaches and technologies.

Our intent is to create a platform that inspires senior leaders to exchange ideas and help advance much-needed change in the approach to capital projects and infrastructure globally.

The fifth GII Summit was held in London on October 29-31, 2018, focused on major project delivery and digital transformation across the industry. The next GII Summit will convene on June 10-12, 2020 in Montreal.
